"Funny, Sexy, Heartbreaking, Hilarious"
When a married man's overseas business deal goes wrong, the one person who can help him has ideas of her own. A madcap comedy where true love finally prevails and everyone lives happily ever after -- but only after a lot of screwups.
Family man Mike Torino lands an important business project in Italy, home of naked art, Valentino, and taxi-crashing yoga pants, so he brings along his wife, hoping to rekindle their marriage while securing a promotion. But romance gets derailed by head colds, constant bickering, and assaults from ankle-breaking cobblestone streets. Their daughter develops a gelato addiction. Mike's Italian partner has a coronary. And as for amore... Mattie tells Mike to handle things himself -- and storms back to America.Mike is trapped. Leaving Italy will blow a promotion; staying might cost him his wife and family.While reeling from Mattie's frantic departure, a replacement liaison is assigned -- a top-notch, beautiful young Italian woman who is instantly smitten with Mike and determined to reveal the passions of her homeland -- whether he wants to see them or not! Normally immune, Mike is tempted -- but is headstrong, voluptuous Julietta worth the risk?
"Funniest book I have ever read!"
This story is all about relationships and love, all the different kinds of love, including a hilarious depiction of extra-marital sex. But Poggibonsi is a beautifully written romance too. It has the classic 'lost everything' scenario, but the emotions are real. The cast of characters could be people you have known for years, and I laughed a lot and cried in equal measure but cannot remember when I have enjoyed a book so much. - Anita Dawes Book Review
"I was laughing so hard my stomach hurt and my husband thought I was crying!!"
- ZL, Amazon review
"Loved it!"
The banter between his characters had me laughing out loud at the sheer brilliance of it at times. He writes characters that are always fun and so likable, I just want to sit down and have a cup of coffee with them... This book is chock full of humor and romance. Add in a little sex along with some tender, bittersweet moments, and a shocking twist, and you've got yourself a book you cannot put down until you turn the last page. - Carrie Anne, Amazon review
"A laugh out loud, sexy, humorous book with heart!"
A richly woven story with humor, and hilarious sexual connotations with smoldering sex scenes done with class, but more than that! - DG Kaye Book Review
"Smart Sexy Fun"
The twists and turns are not the formulaic comedy that seem to be everywhere nowadays, it's smart and hot at times. - Jess, Amazon review
"An enjoyable laugh-out-loud read from beginning to end."
- Jen, Amazon review
"A Great Read and Lots of Fun!"
- Kindle Customer Amazon review
"Outrageously funny"
Disarmingly charming; a laugh-out-loud, bumbling romp through lust and love in central Italy. Alatorre captures the breathtaking romance of Italy perfectly, peeling back each layer of story until all that remains is genuine, raw emotion. An outrageously funny, guilty pleasure of a read.- J. A. Allen, Old Souls
